Apple’s recent actions seem designed to chill worker organizing. In August, employees launched the #AppleToo website to allow workers across the company — including AppleCare and retail — to submit stories about workplace harassment and discrimination. Parrish and Cher Scarlett, an Apple software engineer, then began sharing these stories on Medium.

Didn't even know there was labor organizing going on a bit at Apple until now

Look at the Medium stories, this one is recent and really something.

One month after returning from a surgery where I told our SL and Sedgwick I may have to take some unexpected trips to the bathroom while I am recovering I was belittled and screamed at by a Leader in our break room in-front of multiple coworkers for punching in from lunch and using the bathroom for 5 min instead of immediately going back on the floor. When I reminded him of my surgery he simply shrugged his shoulders and said you should have gone before clocking in, now you’ve stolen time from the company as if I was the first person in history to take a bathroom break on the clock.

Suing for abuse

My story is not short and already public. I am suing Apple in federal court. Underwood v Apple in the Southern District of Georgia. I reported verbal, emotional, and physical abuse, as well as sexual harassment and assault.

Edit -

Holy shit this one

Before the coffee chat rule (interviewing internally without telling your manager), I informed my previous manager I would like to find other opportunities within the company. He flipped out and threatened to fire me within one month or he would push me to the AppleCare team.

On that day, I tried to commit suicide.

The ER concluded that he was just having a problem with his communication. The upper management told me that “It is very normal in a tech company to be sexist”.

I’m still suffering from PTSD until this day.
